    Dude, Germany, its not like that. Putin isnt a benign actor looking for mutually beneficient business opportunities in renewables, hes a fucking KGB / Tsar hybrid.

  2. It’s like germany is trying to out-bullshit russia.

    “Remove NATO troops”

    “lol no. Maybe we help with renewables?”

    “wat”

  3. Haha, jeez.

    The US also tried to turn this to into Strategic Stability talks, into arms control talks. On its own, these initiatives are okay, and Russia cares about them, but they won’t defuse this crisis because this crisis is not about arms control or renewables. It’s not even about NATO, regardless of Russian demands. It’s first and foremost about Ukraine.

  4. I feel bad for Ukrainians. Their fate pretty well tied to the whims of these useless world leaders.

  5. We offered the Russians wind turbines and solar panels but they ran over them with their tanks, who would have thought…

  6. Well at least they can say they tried everything. It also looks bad from the Russian peoples perspective if Russia invades Ukraine anyway, despite Germany’s peace attempts.

    It’s also very hard for Russia to turn this into “aggressive west” propaganda.
